Dumb comment to make about an Asian baby.

Her mom was black and dad white.

[robcguns]

People need to lighten up,it’s funny.Who cares.bunch of oversensitive pussie everywhere I look.

[Rascal full]

Made me laugh. He must have posted it drunk though as no way he didn't know that in today's overly sensitive society it could be perceived as racist.

[BB]

It caught me . That being said, it would've been a tough sell even here in the States during the shock jock 80's - 90's. Might not have gotten him fired, but there would have been some outrage.

[Mothballs]

So a British guy has never watched Paul James Watson? He didn’t know this would get him in trouble? How clueless can a person be in 2019? It’s not even okay to return burnt toast is you say it’s ‘too black’.

[IRON CROSS]

Jeezzuss, not another British prince ..............annual tour of colonies (Australia,New Zealand,Canada) in 2020 is guaranteed

How is it funny? Point out the funny part about it

I'm a fan of big Rob C and getting fucked up on edibles with him is on my bucket list, but I agree that it's not really that funny.  Ok, maybe it's a little funny but it is a fucking stupid thing to put out in the public square.  If some asshole at work wants to show me stupid, racist memes on his phone, fine.  I'll giggle.  But if he puts it on facebook and gets fired for it?  Fuck him, he deserves it for being so stupid.

Nice Mexican and Korean mix baby.

He might have meant to have posted it on another account but forgot to log out of his official one.
I found it amusing but it's odd that someone with so much experience in the industry would make the mistake of posting something like that.

[Powerlift66]

Guy is either not too bright, or hammered. Or doesn't care. Either way, he had to expect the consequences, unless he woke up the next AM very hung over, blacked out, and said "HUH"? 

[Irongrip400]

The actual pic of the monkey is funny, but in its context it’s fucked up. Dude should be fired.

[Humble Narcissist]

He had to want to get fired.  There is no way he thought he would get away with this.

I’m a fan of yours as well AbrahamG and hope to do some edibles with you too.I just don’t think people should get offended by jokes,If a black comic says something funny about white people I laugh and if a white comic says something about blacks I will laugh as well although you really don’t hear white comics saying much about blacks cause the blacks in the crowd will be in an uproar.Its just for laughs.Ive got some polish in me and I love a good polish joke.If he wants to post that and gets fired so be it.I will laugh at anything naturally if it invokes that response simple as that.Also I don’t care for the royal family at all and think any laugh at their expense is worthy.

I understand you are black and obviously offended by anything and everything against blacks but who cares?Its not about you at all so why be so offended?If you are so offended you should prob join the rest of the world and get on meds.In my world nothing matters and I don’t give a fuck,you can’t offend me personally so it’s whatever.Its funny cause they are saying the monkey is a black kid pretty obvious.I found amusing at first glance and that was my honest response,I don’t pretty things up or hold back my feelings,I say whatever is on my mind and that’s that.You are free to do the same.There are numerous tv shows I have seen in the last few years that have a black person saying “crazy white people” and no one cares at all cause it’s ok to say stuff about the whites but no way in hell could a white Persian on tv say “crazy black people”.So yeah I found it funny and that’s that,it’s my type of humor I guess.I won’t apologize for it and don’t think it matters.The royal family means less than the dump I took today and could not possibly care any less about what someone says about their mixed race baby.

No it wasn't funny...and that's why he's fired.   Dude is a fucking moron and had to expect that outcome

For the most part I am with you.  I too am also part Polish.  As a kid I heard plenty of Polish jokes and while the jokes themselves never meant a hill of beans to me, sometimes it was the mean spirited nature which certain classmates would tell it and attempt to taunt me that would get them followed home after school.  LOL.  I went to a Catholic grade school and I hated most of the fucking kids I went to school with. 

Back to the point at hand.  Yes, I laugh at everything but like I said there are consequences to your actions.  Public domain isn't the same as the locker room.  I also keep in mind that we are less than 55 years away from civil rights bills and desegregation.  I try to give people of color a little more leeway in terms of racial jokes as it pertains to their sensitivities.  Me hearing polish jokes in the 80's wasn't as hurtful as black jokes would be today to my black friends.  Same thing applies to jewish jokes and the slippery slope of anti-semitism.

And that's all I've got to say on that matter.

Understandable.I just try so hard to push the sensitivity out of people that maybe I have lost all my sensitivity.who knows?

I like that followed home after school but.haha

I imagine he definitely expected that outcome.Maybe he is rich,just won the lotto,hit a scratch ticket etc... and don’t need the job or just didn’t give a fuck anymore.
